Amino Acid Sequence

Trp-His-Trp-Leu-Gln-Leu-Lys-Pro-Gly-Gln-Pro-Met-Tyr

Application

α1-Mating Factor acetate salt has been used for the synchronization of yeast cells for flow cytometry and to study B-type cyclin (Clb2p)-EmCitrine levels from calcofluor white treated cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The α1-Mating factor is a pheromone produced by yeast that regulates mating. α1-Mating Factor acetate salt can be utilized to arrest the G1-phase of the cell cycle in various yeast strains.

Preparation Note

Alpha1-Mating Factor acetate salt dissolves in water at 1 mg/ml to yield a clear, colorless solution.

We report that the histone acetyltransferase Gcn5p is involved in cell cycle progression, whereas its absence induces several mitotic defects, including inefficient nuclear division, chromosome loss, delayed G(2) progression, and spindle elongation. The fidelity of chromosome segregation is finely regulated
